Today I hold the world

Outside the Zangfeng Hall, Zhou Hong and Chang Yun stood on the stone steps looking at the clouds in the sky without saying a word.

The head of the sect is not here, and Master Uncle Jian is acting as the speaker. Although the two of them are confidantes, they belong to His Highness Tanlang, and their cultivation has not yet reached the foundation building period, so they are not qualified to discuss matters.

In general, major decisions are made in the sect, and the people involved in the affairs, the masters of each hall and the deputy masters of the halls participate in the meeting. Zhou Hong only manages a foreign affairs casual repair army in Tanlang Hall. Although Chang Yun is in charge of making suggestions under Tanlang Hall, But he doesn't have much status, he has just cultivated in the late stage of Qi training, and it will take another two years before he can participate in the decision.

Seeing the sun go down gradually, and no one came out from the left and right, Chang Yun was a little restless, even though he was more bickering and scolding than Xie Xuan on weekdays, he still treated Xie Xuan as a brother in his heart.

When he was young, he and Xie Xuan played well among his peers. As they grew up, they each performed their duties in different halls. The number of times they saw each other became less and less every year. My heart hasn't let go yet.

"Don't be impatient, since they can negotiate for such a long time, Xie Xuan's life must be safe for the time being." Zhou Hong patted Chang Yun on the shoulder.

He knew that Chang Yun and Xie Xuan were playing very close, and that something happened to Xie Xuan, as a good friend, Chang Yun was naturally deeply worried.

Chang Yun put his hands behind his head, and a mahogany Daoist hairpin was tied on his round head. The corners of his mouth had not been cleaned for many days, and the wide Daoist robe fit perfectly on his round arms.

Thinking of Xie Xuan's look that deserved a beating, he couldn't help laughing and cursing:

"This guy's meddling habit is probably hard to change. Brother Zhou, let's make a bet. I bet he won't be long after he is rescued this time, and he will cause trouble again."

Zhou Hong smiled, and when the thick lips between the sideburns were about to speak, they brought it up together, showing a look of nostalgia for the vicissitudes of life after being young and frivolous, he pondered for a long time, and said:

"You are still young, it is inevitable to make troubles. Although the sect leader often reprimands you, he always likes fresh scenes, and these things will not make him really angry."

This was the first time Chang Yun saw Zhou Hong talking about Zhong Ziyan. Senior brother Zhou, who was always rough and careless, suddenly said such a passage, which made Chang Yun feel very kind. It turns out that he also has such a side.

"Senior brother Zhou, where did the head go?"

Zhou Hong opened his mouth and smiled, his beard twitched and said, "How can I know this, I'm afraid only a few people inside know."

The bigger the mountain gate, the less people will know of Zhong Ziyan's whereabouts. After all, everyone has affairs to be busy with, and the more people deal with their own affairs, the less they care about others.

Now Zhou Hong wants to attack the ninth level of Qi training, he will do it if there is a temple job for him, and he will concentrate on cultivation if there is no temple job, and occasionally do good things with his enchanting wife, just waiting for the peak of Qi training to hit the foundation building .

The pressure is extremely high, but there is a ecstasy Taoist partner at home, and he can't get up to speed up in cultivation. Watching Chang Yun and these young juniors catch up one by one, there is really nothing to do.

Regarding cultivation, although he persisted, he did not fall into a deep confusion. From time to time, he went to see Gou Youwei among his peers.

As dusk approached, Zhou Hong inadvertently glanced sideways at the avenue outside the hall, suddenly straightened up, and patted Chang Yun: "Junior Brother Chang, stand up quickly!"

Chang Yun followed Zhou Hong's gaze, stood up abruptly, and saluted respectfully: "Old Ancestor!"

What the two of them saw was Tao Fangyin who had just come from the back cave mansion, dressed in a scarlet Xuan Taoist robe, his silver hair was blown by the wind, his old face was showing a kind smile, nodding his head as he passed beside them.

I haven't seen Old Ancestor Tao for several days, and I didn't expect to show up at this time. When he walked into the gate of the palace, Zhou Hong's expression was stern:

"The patriarch has not participated in the clan affairs for a long time, but now he shows up, it seems that Xie Xuan is in big trouble!"

After Chang Yun heard this, he frowned, looked at the closed palace door, took two steps forward, and then retreated, "I don't think the ancestor looks very good, we may have to summon the subordinates from the Palace of Tanlang .”

Zhou Hong nodded.

At night, in the Tibetan Wind Hall, Tao Fangyin, who already knew everything, sat on the head, stroked his beard and told:

"There is no need for the halls to go to war on this matter. Tanlang Hall will handle the population verification by itself. Yong'er will continue to prepare for the opening of the ghost market this year. Only Buer and Shengnian will go with me."

In this sect, if Zhong Ziyan is the Zijin Tianque, Tao Fangyin is the God of Dinghai. One guides the disciples to overcome difficulties and develop forward, and the other is as strong as a mountain to sit in the sect to strengthen the disciples' confidence in doing things.

Now the ancestor opened his mouth in person and made arrangements lightly, which made everyone in the hall feel at ease. Even if they still had worries, they didn't feel that the matter was so difficult to solve.

Jiang Yuzhou thought for a while, and said, "Master, according to you, if the person behind it is Guo Jiuyou, he has the intention of destroying my sect. Then, did he bring people with him when he came back this time?"

"Everything is unknown, you go away first, and wait for me to contact Situye, and use his family's power to secretly investigate Huaishan." Tao Fangyin stroked his beard calmly for a moment, then stood up and beckoned Chen Shengnian and Zong Buer to push open the gate of the palace.

Chang Yun outside the hall had already been waiting impatiently, seeing that the meeting was over, he hurriedly asked, "Old Ancestor, are we leaving?"

Tao Fangyin smiled and waved his hands, "No hurry."

Then he took Zong Buer and Chen Shengnian straight down the mountain.

After listening to Jiang Yuzhou's brief explanation, Zhou Hong and Chang Yun felt at ease after learning the reason.

In the middle of the night, in the Great Hall of Yijiang Mountain and Yunhe, Situye listened quietly to Tao Fangyin's talk. The relationship between the two families was harmonious. If Tao Fangyin asked for something, Situye would never refuse.

"My family didn't have much contact with this person back then. He came back suddenly after being away for more than [-] years. It is very likely that he wanted to seize some wealth and spiritual treasures. It is so hateful that it should be eliminated." Although Situ Ye's face was ruddy, his hair was white. Another layer of hair has been added, and Tao Fangyin can see that his strength is not as good as before.

Tao Fangyin thought Situye's guess was a little light. If it was really Guo Jiuyou, he must have the heart of being extinct whenever he did some actions.

"If it's really for wealth and spiritual treasures, why would you teach Yan'er to break the formation in person? Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, I don't know what their next move is, so I want to ask you to mobilize your disciples to investigate Huaishan." After finishing speaking, Tao Fangyin looked at the hall. The night is quiet outside, I still have to go to Dace Cave later.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll arrange for Xiangrui to handle this matter personally!" Situ Ye did not hesitate, and reminded:

"Mr. Wu may be able to help with this matter, if not..."

Tao Fangyin shook his head, "Find out the situation of the person behind him first, and then call him. I'm in a hurry, and I have to go to the next place. Feijian will send a letter to you for the future, so don't cut off contact."

Situ Ye seemed to have realized something, and after nodding, he sent Tao Fangyin and the others out of the hall, and summoned Situ Xiangrui in a blink of an eye.
